50 Best Sushi Bars near Imperial Beach

“Decided to stop in for some sushi on my last night here in San Diego. The place was small, but flavors were huge! I ordered two appetizers and two rolls, and all of it was fantastic quality. I definitely left full. I will be back several times over the next 6 months, and I will absolutely come back here. Highly recommended!“

“Muy rico y excelente atención por parte de Nancy☺️🙌🏻“

“Sushi is DELICIOUS! Customer Service is Awesome! Place is Mellow and Relaxing and very Enjoyable!“

“WOW ! One of the best experience I have dining out! We were there for my daughter's birthday but think I enjoyed it more than she did. We went through a wonderful 20 course meal ... each one elevating in taste and texture. Chef Maru was very fun, engaging and of all things a VERY fine host and chef. If you are not shy, kanpay with him and your guests and keep it going, he has one of the best sake pairings that I have had. Also his staff were wonderful and was on top of their game. Definitely one for the books!“

“This place is wonderful....Good Japanese Traditional Sushi and Modern American Rolls for the Non Japanese. good service and quality is good.“

“This is honestly my absolute favorite pho place in San Diego. My favorite thing to get here is the pho tai and it hits everytime. I have tried other things here as well and everything else I tried was also delicious but I am a SUCKER for their pho broth. Not only is their food amazing the staff is incredibly friendly and I get excellent service every single time. If you haven’t been here already.. you really should !!“

“Sushi is great but try the non-sushi items rock. Try tue shishito pepper bao bun! Always delicious!“

“Loved the smooth flavors, quality ingredients, so attentive and kind staff, and comfortable and inviting atmosphere! The miso soup and sushi rolls have an excellent balance of texture, temperature, and flavor. We loved how each piece of sushi held together in a single, mouth-filling bite. Chef also provided us with a generous serving of edemame and ginger. Their hot green tea was brewed just right, and we could taste a pleasant sweetness with every sip. And their affogato carajillo was just the perfect balance of robust espresso, vanilla ice cream, and liicor, creating a rich, velvety aromatic drink. Thank you to all the Taka team!“

“Absolutely lovely restaurant inside the Gaylord hotel in San Diego. Beautiful presentation and wonderful flavors. The sushi is fresh. The staff is welcoming and attentive. And we even got an opportunity to chat with the chef briefly.

If I knew about the place on the first day. I’d have been having every meal there the whole week !! Highly recommended.“

“Food already great here 💕 🍣 🍱“

“Amazing food while we were visiting the area. Best service and the food presentation was perfection. Portions and pricing are both outstanding. 10/10 recommend.“

“The food is delicious! I love their chicken kelaquen and the pork ribs. Their food is always nicely presented! Highly recommend if you're craving Chamorro food!!“

“The food was great. Mango-Mango roll was exceptional!!“

“Good food and friendly employees“

“This Mexican-influenced sushi spot reminds me a lot of the sushi I’ve had in Tijuana. The food has that border-fusion style, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere that feels more like a good Tijuana restaurant than a typical U.S. sushi place.
I really enjoyed the ramen, and the desserts were excellent—especially the churro-style tempura with cinnamon and ice cream. Service was okay but not outstanding; the staff is friendly and trying, though they could be more attentive. English is spoken well enough to communicate.
Overall, the food is the standout. Reasonably priced, good flavors, and a unique vibe. I’d definitely go back.“

“They always take a while to get your order ready ALWAYS! But the wait is very worth it. I had originally came here for the pork katsu and curry which is really good. I tried their sushi for the first time last night and was seriously surprised, in a good way. I’ve tried several sushi places in the South Bay and this is some of the best. If you’re ever in the area and craving sushi you should try it! I recommend it.“

“Good experience! Friendly atmosphere“

“This is a Great Date Night Place!. The Food is Great and the Vibe is Edgy!“

“We had my dad’s retirement party here at JJ’s Island Grindz and our host was Ellis I cannot speak highly enough on the service he provided for us it will be unmatched. He treated us like family, very attentive, very respectful, on time with everything very professional. I just want to thank him and his crew for providing excellent customer service love and care to our family and friends. The food was amazing the drinks were delicious and had a great presentation. JJ’s Island Grindz is a good vibe. Thank you again for hosting our event.“

“Bang for your buck on sushi. I always get sashimi platter and salt and pepper tofu. Ginza house noodles, orange chicken, all of it amazing.

Wait staff could use some training on service and how to look for tables that may need assistance. They seem to lose their way when they have more than 4 of 5 tables.“

“Been going to this place for over 20 yrs. Beside good excellent food , staff are always friendly never change.. love every time I’m here, it feels like my second home..“

“Absolutely delish sushi! My husband & I did takeout for date night & we will definitely be coming back!“

“I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the service I received during my recent visit to your restaurant.

One of the waitresses was extremely rude and unprofessional throughout my interaction with her. Additionally, I requested a few slices of lemon, and later noticed that I was charged for them without being informed there would be an additional cost. I found this practice both misleading and discourteous.“

“First time trying this place and it’s a winner in my book! Service was excellent and the food was outstanding! Definitely will be a place I frequent when in San Diego!“

“The owner Ike is the man! This place is great, such fresh hookah changed out every hour, because you can’t smoke ash!“

“Rico y buenos precios, me gusta ir por mi sushi y de paso voy a café 35 por mi bobba, la combinación perfecta“

“Went for lunch with family on a whim. Family was happy with the choice. We went specifically for sushi, and I picked 4 rolls with appetizers. Family thought fish was fresh, food was delicious. Drank the passion fruit with food, refreshing. We agreed we need to return to try more dishes. Looks like regulars take to go. We were only ones for awhile catching up. Gradually mix of groups came in by the time we headed out.“

“For a little over $15 got an amazing plate, a large amount of food and very yummy. Piping hot and super fresh. The plate was heavy. Place looked and smelled very clean. Ordered bento box with spicy tuna hand roll, mixed tempura and California roll. Everything was excellent.“

“Everyone who works there is friendly With excellent customer service food was delicious 🤤“

“The food is amazing, as is the service. My family have eaten there since they opened in 1986. They were small then, when Swenson's ice cream used to be next door. My favorite dish was the champon noodles. It still tastes the same!!“

“Love their food and drinks!“

“I saw this restaurant was close to my hotel and gave it a shot. I wanted to try Ramen here in San Diego in hopes that there is a difference in taste compared to where I live. It's 100 times better. The pork was so tender and the crab was delicious. I got a crunchy dragon roll and they didn't skimp on anything. I will definitely add this place as my go-to for Ramen when I come back!!!“

“Delicious food, great service and amazing value. This unassuming spot just a bit outside of the busy gaslamp district was a great find. 2 entrees and an appetizer was somehow under $40 - we had drunken noodles, Thai basil chicken and Spring rolls.“

“Es primera vez que pruebo este sushi y la verdad esta fire 🔥 lo recomiendo al 💯“

“Great prices! While everything seems to be getting more expensive it's good to know there are some places putting out delicious food for a decent price. The rice is good thats what makes or breaks a sushi spot. We had the Red Dragon roll, Rainbow roll, Philly roll, California roll and some orange chicken all were really good. If you live in National city and want to stay in the area and have goid sushi this is a place worth stopping at.“

“U love it. Good sushi chefs! Very enjoyed“

“1st time but not my last!!“

“It is my favorite ramen place, I always come here to socialize with friends, and I love how spacious it is. Even on a busy day it doesn't feel cramped up. Their food is excellent, both ramen and sushi.“

“Very good service and great food. We are planing to go back for lunch or dinner. The prices are Awesome, my Salmon was delicious and the salad all our food was good.!!!♥️ Thank you Del & Dora Delgado 🥰“

“Food and service was amazing“

“Asia Wok is truly one of the most underrated restaurants I’ve ever been to. Every time I order from here, the food is absolutely amazing fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and perfectly cooked dishes that always hit the spot. Whether it's their entrees, sides, or even the sauces, everything tastes like it’s made with real care and consistency.

What really sets Asia Wok apart is how generous they are. They always hook up the portions way more than expected, and you can tell they value their customers. It’s rare to find a place that not only delivers great quality but also goes above and beyond to make sure you get your money’s worth. For the price you pay, the amount and quality of food you receive is unbeatable.

On top of that, the staff is friendly, fast, and always makes the experience easy and enjoyable. Asia Wok deserves way more recognition than it gets. If you’re looking for delicious food, great service, and portions that won’t disappoint, this is the place you want to go. Definitely a hidden gem that I’ll keep coming back to.“

“Everything was great. Service and food. Wonderful environment. We throughly enjoyed our evening.“

“Nicholas was great, would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The only negative I have to say is the location. However the food was great. I got the short ribs. The meat was tender. My partner got that katsu and it's the crunch that gets me. Delicious. The Mac salad was good too. No weird after taste of fish oil that I've had at other places.“
